A self-hosted 2B specialist that holds its own on field-level accuracy changes the buying calculation for back-office pipelines, and tests whether Dharma-AI's specialization thesis extends from OCR to structured output. Dharma-AI co-founder [Gabriel Pimenta de Freitas Cardoso](https://huggingface.co/GabrielPimenta99?ref=runtimewire) and three colleagues published the Dharma Field Extractor on November 4th, 2026, a 2-billion-parameter model that takes a document image and returns fields a downstream system asks for, typed as JSON.
